Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix error handling in hp_add_other_attributes()

'attr_name_kobj' is allocated using kzalloc, but on all the error paths we
don't free it, hence we have a memory leak. Fix it by adding kfree().

kobject_put() must be always called after passing the object to
kobject_init_and_add(). Only the error path which is immediately next
to kobject_init_and_add() calls kobject_put() and not any other error
path after it.

Fix the error handling by moving the kobject_put() into the goto label
err_other_attr_init that is already used by all the error paths after
kobject_init_and_add().
